| Kuwait restricts movement of citizens to Iraq |
| 2003-09-04 |
| EFL/FU: The Ministry of Interior has issued a decision to ban all Kuwaitis - except merchants holding permission from the ministry and employees of big firms - from entering Iraq, reports Al-Anba daily. A reliable security source said a ban has also been slapped on visit visas to Iraq because of the instability in that country. It also limits the number of innocent pilgrims the bad guys can use as cover. The source, who refused to disclose his name, said the decision was taken after reliable sources said members of Al-Qaeda terrorist organization were seen gathering in large numbers at the AbulKhaseeb area in Basra. Large gatherings of al-Qaeda in one place is a good thing. The press just doesn’t get it, instead of having to look for them, they are coming to us. On the other hand Saudi security authorities have requested their Kuwaiti counterparts not to allow Saudi citizens - either residents in Kuwait or those travelling from Saudi Arabia - to cross over into Iraq. The source also denied rumours Kuwaiti extremists have crossed over into Iraq to carry out sabotage activities. Of course not (wink). |
